Aero Or Triathlon/Time Trial Bars; Mudguards (Wheel Protections) - Scott TIME TRIAL MACHINE Owner's Manual

Aero or triathlon/time trial bars

Before you mount aero or triathlon/time trial bars (e) on your SCOTT road bike,
it is essential to find out first whether the handlebars or a corresponding attach-
ment for use with your handlebars and stem are approved.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the manuals of the handlebar and stem manufacturers. If you are in
doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer!

Mudguards (wheel protections)

If you want to mount mudguards on your SCOTT bike, ask your SCOTT dealer
for advice. There are removable mudguards (f), also referred to as clip-on mud-
guards, as well as firmly attached models that provide more protection against
moisture and dirt.
Retrofittable mudguards for fix fastening are usually made of plastics and are
secured in the correct position by means of additional stays. The length of
the stay is perfect when the bottom edge of the mudguard runs at an approx.
distance of 15 mm parallel to the tyre. Also make sure neither the brakes nor the
steering are affected.
For safety reasons the front wheel stays must have security fastenings. They
prevent the tyre from being blocked by impurities taken up by the front wheel
from the ground. In this case the security fastening frees the stay and hereby
prevents a possible accident. The plug connection can easily be refastened.
WARNING
Damaged mudguards should be replaced in any case. Risk of accident!
